In this Thursday, Aug. 21, 2014 photo, Marvin Gonzalez, a 31-year-old local leader of the Mara Salvatrucha gang, looks into a fisherman's traps on a beach near his home in Ilopango, El Salvador. The working-class resort of Ilopango has special status among the gangs. Last year, the two gangs, Mara Salvatrucha and the 18th Street Gang, agreed to make it one of the countrys first violence-free zones. (AP Photo/Esteban Felix)
